Chapter 52 Cremation(6)

The army was transferred, and the army was transferred away.People come unknowingly, and people leave unknowingly.The people in Wencheng felt a little uneasy.They guess, and guesses beget rumors.Optimistic Zhang San thought that the Japanese would not come to Wencheng, because our army had already been transferred to intercept or chase the enemy in the distance.The pessimistic Li Si thought that our army was transferred away because the troops elsewhere were too weak; then, if all the troops were transferred and the enemy attacked Wencheng, wouldn't it be an empty city strategy?These two kinds, not to mention other kinds of speculation, have to find their own supporting evidence and basis, so as soon as the credible and unbelievable news arrives in Wencheng, it becomes the one that makes everyone laugh and frown. Contagious stuff.

This contagious thing could not infect the royal residence, not only because the rooms of the royal residence were high and the walls were thick, but mostly because the owner of the royal residence was not infected at all.He has his own ideas and plans.He will find out their practical principles and methods from stereotypes and policy theories, like the reason and method that two copper coins are always more than one copper coin. The land outside the pine forest at the east gate is his land, and soldiers can live in the pine forest.He is worried!No matter where the soldiers came from, and why they came, he is not at ease!Ximenwai Spinning Mill has his shares.The spinning mill was blown up by the enemy, he was pessimistic!No matter whose bomb it was, and why; he was pessimistic!From these facts that make him concerned and pessimistic, he then infers his house, his books, and his gold and silver utensils; no matter how his black eyes turn, they always turn to loss, hunger, and even destruction!Finally, there is his daughter!Since she was born until now, all he got was the word "Dad". "Father" is sometimes shouted with laughter, sometimes with anger, the time and voice of the shout are different, it is sickness, naughtiness, anger... all kinds of direct manifestations.These behaviors caused "father" to suffer countless tortures in his heart.However, despite suffering a lot, he couldn't help but love his daughter, he had only one baby.Besides, this treasure is a daughter, and a girl is what he thinks is the most embarrassing thing for the family. She should be watched day and night, just like a big criminal!In times of peace, these torments and worries also have the joy of their pain, but in times of chaos, they become the greatest burden and responsibility, making people just want to cry!

Yes, acres of land, stocks, real estate... and daughters, entangled Wang Juren's heart!He has no time for things higher and farther than these things.He can't plan anything for others, he has too much time for himself!He can't conceive of the nation and sacrifice himself; because there is only one life, and the country belongs to everyone! His heart has become a little iron lump!He wanted to take the gold and silver, and his daughter, and fled to Shanghai or Tianjin.No, there are wars in those places too!War, war, war everywhere!He thought it was a deliberate embarrassment to himself, and taught him that the old man couldn't even find a place to escape!If you can't escape, then you have to bite the bullet and stay at home, looking at your own house and your own land, which is not bad.However, the bomb would fall from the sky at some point, blowing up his house, books, utensils, and even himself!

The most difficult thing to deal with is that Meng Lian who can call her daddy, is cute and annoying, and can't just give up.If she got engaged according to his wishes, things would be much simpler.Get a sedan chair, and send her to her in-law's house so-so, even if it is accompanied by fifty acres of land—anyway, acres of land are not very valuable in desolate years.Isn't this neat?But, she just loves that boy from Ding's family, and she wants to live and die and make troubles all over the city!Ding's boy, where is he?I heard that he has been enlisted in the army!Nonsense!Nonsense!A hundred nonsense!It is unlucky for me to catch up with this era, this year!It's "unlucky"!Wang Juren was so angry that he actually used words that were not found in the scriptures.

He didn't dare to blame Menglian openly.He was a little afraid of her.When he opened his little black eyes wide and looked at the universe, he felt that only Menglian was his relative.There are so many stars in the sky and so many creatures on the ground, but only Menglian always stands by his side and calls him "Daddy".At the same time, she seemed to be far away from him; her actions often taught him to smoke a dozen bags of hookah, but he still couldn't figure it out.She was the closest to him and also the farthest from him, like the wind blowing on his face, as soon as she touched her, she immediately went to the wild sea or the desert.See, she usually turns her little face blue with fright when she sees a green worm that has no intention or ability to harm anyone, but after the air raid is lifted, she will put on men's clothes (what does it look like) to join the ambulance team, and get rid of it? You have to look like a little mud pig before you come back to eat!strangeness!On weekdays, if the neighbors had a fight, it would be enough to make her hide in the house and dare not come out for a long time; when she came out, she would definitely have headaches.Now there are troops in and out of the city, look at her, not only does she not hide, she even delivers tea, shoes and socks to the soldiers!On weekdays, when relatives came to visit her, she sometimes deliberately disappeared; now, any stranger, whether it is a soldier or a refugee, seems to be her close friend!

About her marriage, let alone mention it!When Ding Yishan was in Wencheng, the two of them were almost always together, which made Wang Juren feel that his face should have a fever.When Yishan went to join the army, Wang Juren thought that a catastrophe was imminent. She must lose her temper with her father every day, not saying that she missed Yishan, but saying that everything was wrong with her father.Strangely, she didn't lose her temper; on the contrary, she happily told her father: If Yishan became an officer and came back to marry her, how honorable it would be!Wang Juren couldn't see what was decent, so she cited movies as proof that foreign girls like soldiers.Wang Juren said in his heart: "Fortunately, Wencheng doesn't often act in movies! Otherwise, she might marry a foreigner! What the hell!"

"Menglian!" Wang Juren said sadly, "What should I do?" "What should I do?" She changed into men's clothes again, put her little hands in her trouser pockets, raised her face, and asked with a half-smile. "Alas!" Wang Juren let out a long sigh, unwilling to continue.He felt that his daughter was thousands of miles away from him.Don't bother talking to her.His pain and worry were simply beyond what his heart could contain, because his heart was only as big as a dry soybean. Since his daughter could not relieve his worries, he longed for someone—or even a dog—to talk to him and give him a good idea to save his old life, his family property, and—well ,no way! —his daughter!

He envied Lao Zheng very much.As soon as Lao Zheng saw the army coming from the pine forest, he took his daughter-in-law—a table of eight immortals with the legs up and covered with a large piece of blue cloth, which was regarded as a sedan chair—at the door.In this way, the daughter-in-law's natal family is relieved, and Lao Zheng also feels worthy of his ancestors and son. Lao Zheng is worthy of his son, but Wang Juren has nothing to do with his daughter!Lao Zheng brought fifty yuan in cash and handed it to Wang Juren, asking Jurengong to keep it for him as his "coffin book".

"You teach me to save money for you, who will save my money?" Wang Juren's little black eyes were filled with two small tears! This stopped Lao Zheng from asking.He originally wanted to bury the money in the pine forest, but there were soldiers in the pine forest.He also wanted to sew the money into his belt so that he would never leave his body and goods; but if the Japanese soldiers came and beat him to death, wouldn't they throw away the money and their lives? After deliberation, he decided to hand over the "coffin book" to Ju Rengong.In his heart, he felt that whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it would never be Ju Rengong's turn.Jurengong is not an ordinary person, he must be blessed by gods.Besides, even if Jurengong's fate is not as solid as he—Old Zheng—thought, isn't there still Miss Lian?Wherever Miss Lian lives, there must be no problem, just like "Jiang Taigong is here, the gods abdicate".If there is any misfortune for Miss Lian, the world will end together, there will be no surprises at all, and the world will end together!Ju Rengong does not accept that "coffin book"!There was a cold war in Lao Zheng's heart!

"Jurengong! Could it be that when the Japanese invaded the city, they really didn't stay behind?" Old Zheng rubbed his teary eyes, eagerly waiting for the question and answer that would comfort him.He longed for Ju Rengong to shake his head.However, Jurengong nodded. "Don't let the dog stay?" Old Zheng chewed another invisible grain of rice with his teeth.Jurengong nodded again. "Okay!" Old Zheng clenched his fists. "Okay!" He knocked his knee with his fist. "What's the matter? Old Zheng!" Ju Rengong lowered his eyelids and asked, showing a calm expression.

"Just hit it, what else is there to say! Just hit it!" The wrinkles on Lao Zheng's face, at this time of year, seemed to be made of wire! "Hit who?" Ju Rengong asked. "Whoever comes to harm me for no reason, I will beat him! Whoever comes to 'don't let chicken or dog', I will teach him 'death has no place to bury'!" Old Zheng used two idioms very appropriately, and his eyes suddenly brightened , juren seems to be shorter than usual. Jurengong didn't speak for a long time.He originally wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Lao Zheng, but who knew that Lao Zheng and Meng Lian were the same thing! "Go, Old Zheng!" Ju Rengong drove away Old Zheng, frowning all by himself!
